  1. Bruce, Thanks for the link, which is a great lesson on the entire process of creating keepers in your own style once a location is discovered.

    Find what it is you do, then find a place to do it, and keep returning to that place. Sounds easy enough.

  2. Hi Sam,

    Nice to hear from you :-)

    You sum it up very well – ‘find what it is that you do, then find a place to do it, and keep returning to that place’.

    There are certainly places that I can think of that I have to return to, because I’m still learning about them.

    Kenna talks about a ‘conversation’ and I think he spends time getting to know a place.

    You can return to a place time and time again, and learn something new – you get a better understanding and the images are often different as a result too.
